Information
Burning Confrontation is the second Korean extension set of cards after the Pokémon Trading Card Game went into hiatus until the middle of 2010. Released June 17, 2010, this extension set continues to introduce both new Generation IV Pokémon and new Pokémon LV.X in the Korean Card Game. In order to provide players with more meaningful options for their limited card pool at the time of release, it focuses exclusively on the Grass-type, Fire-type, Water-type, Lightning-type, and Colorless-type, saving the other four types for the third extension set: Space-Time Clash.
Included in the Burning Confrontation set are 40 cards originating from the early half of the English Diamond & Pearl Series. The set pulls its Ultra-Rare Pokémon LV.X focus from the Mysterious Treasures expansion, but contains a majority of cards from the Diamond & Pearl and Secret Wonders expansions. Only Magmortar LV.X and Electivire LV.X are included, with Lucario LV.X being utilized later as it falls outside of the extension's type focus.
The Burning Confrontation set was exclusively released in Korean.
